LA Times: Biden son, brother invested with firm that lobbied him

The L.A. Times is just popped a big story the Obama-Biden folks don't want to be reading the night the Delaware senator introduces himself to the nation: a potential conflict of interest involving Biden and one of the nation's biggest asbestos litigation law firms — which also happens to be his top contributor.

This information was posted on FreeRepublic several days ago. You would think a ‘news’ organization could find ‘news’ faster than people sitting around in PJ’s.
